dod'der·er (n.) - one who dodders
This trophy dates from the first Dods away trip - to watch Gloucester play Bath at the Rec in 2005. It is named after a young lady befriended in a bar after the game by a sad dodderer in memory of the days when he could still pull. It is played for annually on the Sunday after the Glos v Barf away game (won 18 - 3 by Glos).
The trophy has been missing since it was awarded at the 2009 dinner - could any of the gentlemen in the photo of the presentation below please shed some light on its whereabouts? (especially as three of them were in this year's winning team.) (That's not Nadine, by the way)
The game was won 12 -10 by Miles, Dan, Rod and Simo. The game would have continued but Rod had to leave to go to church and deliver a pig. In the absence of the cup, winning captain Dan Finchett accepts a concrete balloon weight from the Minch RFC Ball the night before.
